5. Wash the sponge material gently but thor-
oughly in solvent.
w
Always use parts cleaning solvent to clean
the sponge material. Never use low flash
point solvents or gasoline to clean the
sponge material because the engine could
catch fire or explode.
6. Squeeze the excess solvent out of the
sponge material and let it dry.
cC
Do not twist the sponge material when
squeezing it.
7. Inspect the sponge material and replace it
if damaged.
8. Apply foam air filter oil to the sponge mate-
rial.

NOTE:
The sponge material should be wet but not drip-
ping.
9. Pull the sponge material over its frame.
10. Install the air filter element by installing the
wing bolt.
11. Install the air filter case cover by hooking
the holders onto the filter case.
12. Install the seat.
NOTE:
The air filter element should be cleaned every
20-40 hours. It should be cleaned and lubricated
more often if the ATV is operated in extremely
dusty areas. Each time air filter element mainte-
nance is performed, check the air inlet to the air
filter case for obstructions. Check the air intake
duct between the air filter case and the throttle
body and the manifold fittings for an airtight seal.
Tighten all fittings securely to avoid the possibili-
ty of unfiltered air entering the engine.
